The network will rely on a website as well as phone link ups and an annual meeting at QC, the national conference for LGBTIQ students.

Although the site is live it is still in development, with AQSN  is concentrating on ensuring information is up to date and debugging ahead of an official launch timed to coincide with the beginning of the academic year in early March.
